ANIMA
2020TIVA (Taiwan International Video Art Exhibition )

Hong-Gah Museum/ 10:30-17:30, Tuesday to Sunday
Taiwan Contemporary Culture Lab/ 11:00-18:00, Tuesday to Sunday

Taiwan International Video Art Exhibition (TIVA) has been organized biennially since 2008 and has been through a decade to this day, making breakthroughs and ushering in new definitions for images.

ANIMA emphasizes not the reading of but the experience of images – the focus lies not in the digestion of information exhibited in images, but in the insight into the true words beneath. How can an image be perceived when we “unread” it? Or to the extreme, can an image still be established when we “unsee” it? With hypnotic images as portals, we are granted with access into those alternative realities betwixt actuality and fantasy that seem out of place – the subconscious reality, the mise-en-scène reality, the mediamediated reality, and the reality awkwardly edited by fragments of memory.

ANIMA 阿尼瑪

第七屆 台灣國際錄像藝術展
鳳甲美術館 / 臺灣當代文化實驗場/ 時間:11:00–18:00 週二至週日

台灣國際錄像藝術展(Taiwan International Video Art Exhibition)由鳳甲美術館成立於2008年,每兩年一次的展出歷經十餘年發展,目前已成為台灣錄像藝術研究與發展的主要平台,同時也扮演在國際間錄像藝術交流時,具代表性的窗口。

本屆主題「ANIMA阿尼瑪」,從「催眠作為一種觀影儀式」的概念為起點,讓觀眾跳脫習以為常的觀影模式,以影像的催眠性,打開新的感官來面對影像作品──重點並不是用眼睛來「閱讀」影像的資訊,更是用身體來「體驗」影像的力量,洞見潛藏其中的真正話語,以此探索潛藏在作品中難以用文字語言捕捉的影像靈魂。

2018 牛俊強個展 入圍第十七屆台新藝術獎

“NIU Jun-Qiang Solo Exhibition 2018”is nominated in Taishin Arts Award The Taishin Arts Award was founded in 2002 by the Taishin Bank Foundation for Arts and Culture, sponsored and supported by the Taishin International Bank. The Award acknowledges creative achievements in works of visual, performing and inter-disciplinary arts, a pioneering idea among arts awards at home and abroad.

台灣當代藝術大獎「台新藝術獎」第 17 屆入圍名單公布,由九位提名觀察人于善祿、王聖閎、白斐嵐、林靖傑、陳宜貞、黃海鳴、孫松榮、鄭文琦、樊香君組成的評選團,歷經 2018 年全年度展演觀察、評論書寫、季評交流會議獨立提名,到複選會議的共議討論,從 104 件被提名且同意參選作品中,遴選出 15 組入圍作品,包含 5 組視覺藝術,以及 10 組表演藝術作品。

入圍理由

《2018 牛俊強個展》的魔力,巧妙地在兩股相互拉扯的力量上演著:當單頻道投映影像成為欺眼法的技藝,展覽原本宣告的佈局遂成為不存在的作品。何謂可見,抑或,在場之作,緊扣著藝術家的宗教信仰及其盲視焦慮。作為一部構思得滴水不漏的短片,影像與聲音鉅細靡遺地連結了從展場到展外、現實與想像,乃至觸摸與靈現的世界。轉角的現場佈置卻讓期待的觀眾撲了個空:這一幅可見的動態圖像真的存在嗎?它是否僅出現在想像、記憶及意識中?在盲視與見證之間,《2018 牛俊強個展》精彩地辯證著宗教與藝術、教堂與白盒子,臨在與幻化的多變關係。

NIU Jun-Qiang Solo Exhibition

牛俊強個展

Venue│TKG+Projects (2F,No.15,Ln.548,RuiguangRd.,NeihuDist.,TaipeiCity114, Taiwan)

Curator | FENG Hsin

Sponsors | Ministry of Culture / Department of Cultural Affairs Taipei City Government

NIU Jun-Qiang departed from “what God is”,“how God looks like”, and“how it feels like in His presence”and came up with a series of works in images.

The conditions that are relative and yet reflective to each other, such as“emptiness”and“nothingness”,“blank”and“being”as well as“entity”and“eternity”, co-exist in this 2018 exhibition. NIU Jun-Qiang excels at showcasing indescribable, abstract perceptional experiences via image narrative. Through means of metaphor, audience will be slowly guided to an intricately-designed space. Residual or implied traces in the space, symbols and relationships that are indescribable in language shall become the portals for audience to pass through the consciousness and dive into the inner space of their own.

地點 │ TKG+ Projects (台北市 114 內湖區瑞光路 548 巷 15 號 2F)

策展人│馮馨

贊助單位 │ 文化部、台北市文化局

本次個展中,牛俊強從「神是什麼?」、「神的外貌?」、「祂臨在的感受」出發,以影像創作一系列作品,「空」與「無」、「白」與「有」、「存在」與「永恆」等相對又相映的狀態同時並存於展覽中,牛俊強擅以透過影像敘事呈現難以名狀的抽象感知體驗,藉由隱喻的方式引導觀者逐步進入精心安排的空間中,難以言語闡述的象徵與關係透過空間中殘存或暗示的痕跡,成為觀者得以穿越意識潛入自身內在空間的入口。
